I'm speaking of normal driving.
Besides, I live in the country and most roads are 55 MPH anyway.
If I drive in town at 40 it goes much further but that goes without saying.

Yes, needs a gentle foot but often achieved. Checkout SpeakEV forum in the
Volt/Ampera section.I've achieved 48 miles which includes city driving.

Are you sure about that number? That would be equivalent to the Leaf
regularly getting about 120 miles on a charge. Probably possible on a
flat road, no stops, at 40mph but not possible for regular driving.
